general problems of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder - part 2

I was driving my 13 Nissan Pathfinder. I stopped at an intersection. When I went to push on the accelerator it jolted forward and then I lost all power to the accelerator. Had my children in the car and was stuck in the middle of an intersection. My car wouldn't move. I tried to turn it off and it wouldn't turn back on. Thankfully my fianc� jumped the car. Although it was jerking in a low gear, I was able to get home which wasn't far.

Took my 2013 Nissan to to ben mynartt Nissan to see the driver side visor that will not stay up and is a safety hazard when I am driving. Wes in the service department told me he could order me one for 200+ dollars. I told wes this is no fault of mine and that I would contact the Nissan headquarters. I contacted Nissan's customer relations in franklin, TN and katrina with the company refused to acknowledge this was Nissan's responsibility. Nissan is refusing to repair an auto defect that should have been a recall. Please see the following youtube videos. . Read more...

Sunvisors will not stay correctly in a secure position. This can become a safety issue. It will drop down and block view. The visor does not serve the intended purpose of blocking the sun due to not staying in the position to block the sun. There are numerous complaints of this issue and Nissan has totally ignored recalling for the consumer. It will take someone having a serious wreck to get their attention.

My vehicle has stopped responding twice to acceleration. I press the peddle and nothing changes and rpms remain at 2000. After 15 minutes car began responding again. First incident occurred while traveling at 15 mph in city. Second occured on hwy travelling 60mph after several hours of driving. Two incidences happened a month apart. Vehicle has 95k miles on it. Vehicle has several issues but this one has been the most dangerous considering I do live in a city and need to merge into traffic.

The driver side sun visor is made poorly. Drivers side sun visor does not stay in the up position. While driving it has falling prohibiting visibility constantly. I have seen many complaints about this issue from the 2013 to 2018 Pathfinders. This is a safety issue while driving.

Sun visor does not stay up on both driver and passenger side. It falls during driving, suddenly reducing visibility and may cause a crash. Also falls when vehicle is stationary. Several similar complaints on 2013-2016 models.

Pathfinder will not release from the park position. It happens at least once a day.

Driving on an interstate my wipers stopped operating because of heavy snow. They were repaired at a Nissan dealership. I had to drive in the shoulder so I could follow the white line. Again on a city street in heavy snow my wipers stopped working and were repaired at a Nissan dealership. Today, again my wipers stopped working while driving in heavy snow on a city street. None of the times were from snow from the top of my vehicle. I had cleared that off before driving.

Visor clip broke obstructing view.

Radiator fans needing replacing every two years.

My car will not shift out of park. I am trying to find out if this is a common problem with the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder?.

Sun visors on drivers side and passenger side drop down unexpectantly, mechanism inside of the visor is broken and unrepairable. Restricting the view of the driver, while no longer able to block the sun while driving. Hazardous and dangerous. Drivers side visor broke while driving down the rode put visor down. Would not stay in place but instead blocked the visibility while trying to drive.

Stationary. Inside door handles would not open the doors. Both front seat doors failed. Dangerous because you could not get out of the car. This also happened on one of my sisters 2013 Pathfinders passenger side front door.

Inside driver door handle broken, not allowing access to exit vehicle without someone opening the door from the outside or having the window down. Seems to be a common problem but Nissan refuses to address. The vehicle was parked when the door could not be opened.

The car has been stalling on us 4x. You drive the car and car only goes up to 20-30 mph and would not pick up speed. Brought to the Nissan service center x 3 and about to go for the 4th time. Nissan service cannot find anything wrong with the car in time of writing. It did not have any engine lights or warnings. Vehicle has currently have 52983 miles. The first two events were in a highway driving and the recent two are in a local road. All happened in dry and warm conditions.

We purchased the car used in August of 2018. I did notice that the driver and passenger sun visors were hanging low. And that they didn't fully hold up when used. I contacted Nissan north America and they said it wasn't a warranty covered item. I tried reaching out to the dealer that sold us the vehicle and still no luck! it eventually broke all the way and the driver side visor cannot be used at all and is being held up by a bungee cord!! I cannot use this visor while driving and it is a hazard!! I believe this is an issue to bring to recall. There is a video on youtube stating a dealer had to replace over 50 visors on their lot!! search it. My complaint isn't the first one! this is a safety issue/hazard/concern for all involved.

Interior driver side door handle failed to open. Had it repaired in 2015. Interior door handle passenger side failed to open starting. 8/15/2018. In order to get out of vehicle you must roll down the window. Huge safety concern.

Driver sun visor would make a clicking sound. Now the visor will not stay up and it disturbs my visibility when driving.

Driver side interior door handle hardware failed - disconnecting the door handle and the door cable and entrapping the occupant. Door can only be opened from the outside. Effectively this means that the car must maintain electrical power sufficient to rolls down the window in order to reach through and access a serviceable door handle. I have raised the issue to Nissan on 3 occasions but have not been taken seriously. Perhaps your will have more success - godspeed!.

Drivers side visor and passenger side visor broken and impede view while driving. Hazard and obstructs view while driving. Dangerous!.

The sunvisors are cheaply made and break. Therefore they become dangerous. I have looked into replacing and was given a code of 200. 00 a piece. This should be a recall because of safety issues.

The sun visors on both sides are broke in pieces that they won't stay up.

The catalytic converter separated from the muffler. Also the right side sun visor is malfunctioning. .

Driver side door handle and back passenger door handle both broke and the back door is used very little poor design and safety issue if needing to exit the vehicle in an emergency situation.

Driving 35 mph on city street, no cars in immediate vicinity, no overpasses or bridges, no low-hanging trees and my sunroof exploded. It sounded like something large had been dropped on the roof of my car. I pulled to the side of the road and examined the roof of the car. There were no signs that anything had fallen onto the car as there was no paint damage or dents. However, the entire sunroof was shattered. Upon removing the broken glass from the area, it was clear there was nothing inside the sunroof area that had impacted the glass.

The driver sun visor will not stay up any more. It just dangles. This is unsafe because it blocks the drivers vision. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is stationary or in motion. This started progressing back in March 2018 and now it just dangles.

2013 Nissan Pathfinder driver's interior door handle / mechanism broke: just drove home & parked in my garage. . . Then, while trying to exit my car like usual, using the interior door handle from the driver side location, something in the door made a noise and handle stopped working and will not unlock nor open the door. . . !. In order to exit the car from the driver position, I have to roll down the window to reach the outside handle (which works) or have someone open the driver's door from outside. . . ! this is dangerous, especially if there is an emergency and myself or someone else, cannot exit the car, in a safe amount of time. . ! it is clearly really poor engineering & quality on Nissan's part. . . And should be recalled due to overall safety issue. . . .

The door handles on this vehicle break. They repair them, and they break again. My deal is this is a point of egress in the event of an emergency. How can they justify making customers pay for a part they know was designed terribly. On top of that, if my car catches on fire. . . . How can they justify making me climb over seats to get out. There are businesses fined for having the wrong kind of door release on their doors. This is no different.

Both sun visors will not stay up. The driver side visor is broken to the extent that it impedes the drivers view of the road.

The car computer is fucked up - the car is shut down on the highway. I need Nissan to fix this at no cost - the has given me trouble from day one.

On 08/16/2016 I purchased a motor vehicle from star Nissan located at 5757 w. Touhy Ave. , niles, IL 60714 (2013 Nissan Pathfinder SUV VIN). On October of 2016 I was driving in the express way going 60mph and my vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating and came to a complete stop while I had other vehicle passing me by at 60+ mph. I had to pull to the side to avoid getting hit in the rear. The vehicle finally took off but not without jerking and rattling noises. I immediately came off the express way. I took the vehicle to star Nissan and they admitted my car on 10/22/2016. I was contacted by Nissan and was told that they replicated the problem and the cvt would need to be changed and everything should be fine. The changes were made and on 10/28/2016 I received the vehicle back. My vehicle has been back to the dealer on 11/12/2016, 11/16/2016, 04/22/2017, 07/12/2017 7/28/2017 with the same symptoms and the problem has never been rectified. On 07/01/2017 my vehicle was driven by a� Nissan service technician for 237 miles in order to replicate the problem again. They were successful but now stated that the problem was a relay light. They gave me the vehicle back on 07/06/2017. My vehicle was admitted again on 07/25/2017 with the same problems. The technician had to drive my vehicle 344 miles to replicate the symptoms once again. However my vehicle was admitted until 08/17/2017. The Nissan consumer affairs office sent out an engineer who made recommendations. The recommendation was to remove brake light relay and replace brake switch. I was given the vehicle back and the problems has persist. On 11/13/2017 my car jerked and came to a stop in the middle of a busy intersection this has been a nightmare and I have almost been a part of an accident on several occasion due to this problem. I am now car-less because this vehicle is not safe to drive.

I recently purchased a Nissan and the visor slowly began to get lower and lower and now is o structure g visibility and is a safety hazard. I returned to the dealer and it's over warrenty because it had 33k miles, emailed Nissan no answer. Dealer says it happens very often, to fix is over 300. 90.

Driver's interior door handle broke and you cannot exit the vehicle without rolling down the window and opening from the exterior. This a safety problem if there was an accident and the window would not go down.

The sun visor started slowly sagging down on both the driver and passengers side. They make a loud popping sound when engaged. They no longer lift to the closed position. Since there isn't a recall on this part Nissan I'll have to come out of pocket to replace both. I bought this vehicle a year ago and the visors have always made a loud popping sound when you engage the visor.

May 2017 the passenger side sun visor broke and was replaced by me. In July 2017 the mechanism on the driver's side sun visor broke and released unexpectedly while I was driving blocking my view of the road and causing me to abruptly swerve into oncoming traffic. The visor issue seems to be a common one with the 2013 and 2014 Pathfinder and it is without a doubt a safety hazard. Abruptly obstructing the line of sight of a driver should be considered a safety concern and should be a recall on this vehicle.
